Absolutely PMD
All I can say is, SWEET Very nice collection. I also agree on the Trade Dollar. Chop marks provide prominence and therefore have value. IMO
Look to the right side of the button you clicked on to post your question. There are two more buttons. Is says "Upload a File" on it. You will...
I don't see the zinc but the zoomed in photos are too grainy to tell, for me. The parallel lines look a bit like the back of an polishing cloth...
Correct. I think the other poster intended to imply that the quarter was minted in 191AD.
Found my raw example and took some photos. Mine has the same die crack as yours so, presumably, they were likely pressed with the same obverse...

No. Just joking. I was doing a quick comparison to my raw one.
Here's one of mine. This is mostly gold and brown, in-hand. Some blue, purple and red under different light. Not sure, but I think its...
Good choice. I followed the link to go buy it myself but it was already gone. Good for you... I have a raw one that might "might" grade UNC but...
The "dig spot" looks to be a contact mark. The "scratch" is a die crack, IMO, zooming in on the photo. There are several die cracks that I see....
Regarding the 54-D, is that doubling I see in UNUM? Or just the lighting?
I vote BOTH. You can't teach someone who does not want to learn, or already knows everything about everything there is to know about.
Only one of the best movies of that decade. Animal House
WOW!! And your not a gambler? Good to be you....
